Rewind - The Wool Market

The Estes Park Wool Market is proud to be "the largest fiber fest in the West". It begins on Wednesday, with workshops on spinning, weaving and dyeing. The weekend is devoted to demonstrations, contests and exhibits. Click here for more info.

I took lots of video of the demos. Unfortunately, my camera was off when I thought it was on, and vice versa. I have a lot of footage of the ground. I did manage some stills from the Junior Exhibitor Trail Class.

I think I would have flipped out over the bison wool and bought something just to have it. I've seen Bison shed out in the spring and they have these huge dreds hanging off them. I just didn't know you could spin it and weave it. Although, I guess it makes sense.

Oh my! I can see you had a 'hay day' there Terry! Look at all that fibre!! I love alpaca and I see that Bison/buffalo works well too. We bought socks a couple of years ago at a wool farm in PEI made of Muskox and wear them inside all winter long!Too funny, but disappointing too, about the videos.....we have experience at this as well!!

Hey Terry! Loved this post!!! I don't have a lot of collectables, but I have some textiles and baskets from around the world. I was literally drooling over the yarns in the yarn booth! The animals you photographed were so cute! It looks like you had an awesome weekend!
